Thank you everyone for all your awesome comments! I am reading all of them and I appreciate all the kind words. I can't respond to everyone though or I'll be at the computer all night!

I finally finished my set beanie plushies of the main characters from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic! These are being sent to a lucky winner in the Benders versus Bronies charity drive on Reddit.

The beanies are all made from minky with button eyes. They are filled partially with normal polyfil, but mostly with poly pellets like actual beanie baby toys. AJ's hat is attached to her head. It seemed a better option with something this size.

I'm not currently open for commissions, but I will post in my journal when I am ready to reopen. There is a price list for commissions in my Deviant ID section. The beanie prices are near the bottom

Okay, the way I see it, there are routes for fads. The first one is the Pog Route in that the fad was never any good to begin with. However, both Beanie Babies and My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic (if the latter actually turns out to be a fad) seem to be following the Disco Route in that the product itself isn't that bad, but it gets too big for its own good.

There's a trend that in every decade, things from two decades before come back into style. I'd be fine with Beanie Babies and even Tamagotchi's (provided improved technology yields more fun experience) making comebacks. However, I'd be saddened if pogs were allowed back in the mainstream.

There's a price list in my deviant ID section, but there is a possibility that the prices might go up $5-$10 when I do eventually reopen because I'm finding with this round of commissions it really takes me a lot longer to make them than I originally estimated. I don't know when I'll reopen but it won't be until January at the earliest.
